About the same as two shirts.

The shirts aren't that bad.

Oh deary me.

Disgraceful pair of shirts for Wigan, Kooga seem hell bent on destroying an incredibly strong brand.

Oh dear it's dreadful. Hoffman isn't very photogenic either is he?

I haven't posted before, but thought compelled to. Thought it embarrassing enough wearing Mecca Bingo on a shirt for the last couple of years, but the design of the 2 shirts for this year is nothing more than a joke. if the club cared seriously enough about their fans, then why have they not canvassed views on the designs, when the internet offers a unique opportunity to gauge reaction of fans, who after all buy the shirts.

If I were you I'd be more concerned with what's in them than what the shirts look like.

BTW do you really believe that these items of clothing actually bring disgrace to the club? I'm more of the opinion that we've certainly had better but ATEOTD they will be consigned to history after we win the GF.

http://www.wiganwarriors.com/WContent.a ... 479&type=1 The club attempt to see if Cumbrians are silly enough to buy the new kit! Seriously though we should be tapping into Cumbria alot more IMO in terms of marketing the club and the tickets. They are unlikely to recieve a super league team in the next 10 years unless Barrow can improve facilities and I see no reason why the people there who love rugby league would not fancy coming to our place to watch some top class games. Looking at the attendances in cumbria for RL, clearly most people are not interested in second flight RL. I am not suggesting we try and take away fans from Barrow etc. but we should gather interest from people who love RL and clearly do not attend the games.

Even if we were to win every game next season we will still get laughed off the pitch.

Thats how bad this is.

And will we be bothered?

That won't happen, can you imagine stuffing Saints, Wire & Leeds and their fans hanging round to say "You beat us but our shirts are better than yours"

I know who would be the laughing stocks.
